Re: [Flashcoders] What does this error msg mean?
I think I have figured it out, my constructor method was in the wrong place and Flash was not cool with that. I do have one other question, how is it that my Main Class file says no errors when I hit Cntrl+T but when I try to format it by hitting Ctrl+alt+F it tells me that it cannot format the code because it has errors? I have yet to see that one, anyone got any ideas? -- Original Message -- From: "vic " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Flashcoders mailing list Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 09:57:05 -0700 >A class's instance variables may only be initialized to compile-time constant >expressions. > > > >Victor >___ >Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com >To change your subscription options or search the archive: >http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > >Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software >Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training >http://www.figleaf.com >http://training.figleaf.com > ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] >> Check Problem
I did this by making a radio button MC with two frames bith with stop actions.
When it is clicked I tell it to gotoAndStop(2) (frame 2) and tell the other
radion button to gotoAndStop(1), therefore when you click one it becomes
checked and the other becomes unchecked. There may be a more elegant way but
that worked great for me. Victor

Re: [Flashcoders] Script for IE
I use this method. Unzip the attached JS file and put it into a scripts
directory in your root.
HTML Usage:
var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var so = new SWFObject("main.swf", "core", "757", "147", "8");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addVariable("quality", "high");
so.addVariable("linkSection", query1);
so.write("navigation");
That should fix it...just repleace the obvious things in the code, like the
name of your swf and the height/width and you should be good to go. Victor

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegating Events and AS2
John, I think so but what I am trying to do it set up a BtnFunc Class that I
can pass an argument to in order to set up the functionality of the button
(argument bein the button instance name). I am pretty close I have this so far:
FLA (with btnOnStage on stage):
import mx.utils.Delegate;
function handleEvent(eventObj) {
trace('handleConstruct')
trace(eventObj.target);
trace(eventObj.type);
trace(eventObj.message);
trace(eventObj.time);
}
var myBtnClass = new BtnFunc(0, btnOnStage);
myBtnClass.addEventListener('click', Delegate.create(this, handleEvent));
--
Class (BtnFunc.as):
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class BtnFunc {
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;
var dispatchEvent:Function;
function BtnFunc(id, btn) {
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
btn.onRelease = function() {
trace('dispatching event');
dispatchEvent({type:'click', target:this, message:btn+'
was clicked'});
};
}
}
It is firing off the event perfectly but my listener is not getting it and thus
not running the handleEvent func. What's the prob?
var myClass = new Timer(1000);
myClass.addEventListener('timeout', Delegate.create(this, handleConstruct));

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegating Events and AS2
Hey Dan, I like the way you do it, its pretty simple. But here is, what
probably will be an incredibly stupid question:
How do I capture the event? Thanks, V
I personally use an extremely simplified way of dealing with events.
I've used EventDispatcher before, but it feels like overkill most of
the time. I realize my method has no ability to multicast events,
but it's quick, easy to read and gets the job done.
Here's an example:
___
// WidgetManager.as
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class WidgetManager {
private var _widget1:Widget;
private var _widget2:Widget;
public function WidgetManager (timeline:MovieClip) {
_widget1 = new Widget(1, timeline.widget1_mc);
_widget1.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event
_widget2 = new Widget(2, timeline.widget2_mc);
_widget2.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event
}
private function widgetClick (eventObj:Object):Void {
trace("widget " + eventObj.id + " was clicked");
eventObj.target.clickEvent = null; // remove event
}
}
___
// Widget.as
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Widget {
public var clickEvent:Function; // event method
private var _id:Number;
private var _buttonMC:MovieClip;
public function Widget (id:Number, mc:MovieClip) {
_id = id;
_buttonMC = mc;
_buttonMC.onPress = Delegate.create(this, buttonPress);
}
public function buttonPress ():Void {
clickEvent({target:this, id: _id});
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Trying to create an emptyMovieClip and then load an image into it
I have a Class, I am trying to create an empty movieClip on the stage, that is
going well because I see this when i hit ctl+alt+v:
Variable _level0.imgViewer = [object #8] {}
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.emptyViewerContainer_mc"
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.emptyThumbContainer_mc"
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.img_0"
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.img_1"
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.img_2"
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.img_3"
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.img_4"
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.img_5"
So I know I am doing that right, but then I want to loadMovie ( a JPG) into it.
that is where I am falling short. Anyone see the problem? Below is the Class
code...thanks in advace, Victor

Re: [Flashcoders] Trying to create an emptyMovieClip and then loadanimage into it
sorry again, here is non-revered code:
class ImageViewerMain extends MovieClip {
// Constants:
public static var CLASS_REF = ImageViewerMain;
// Public Properties:
// Private Properties:
// var to pass from constructor func to loadImage func
private var newlyCreatedImgHolder_mc:MovieClip;
// Initialization:
// set constructor func
public function ImageViewerMain(targetImg_mc:MovieClip,
targetThumb_mc:MovieClip, depth) {
// create the empty movie holder with a unique instnace name
and depth
for (var i = 0; i<_level0.numOfItems; i++) {
// use the array previously created to set the
imageToLoad var
var newImageToLoad = _level0.imageArray[i];
var newThumbToLoad = _level0.thumbArray[i];
// create as many empty movieClips as there are images
in the XML with unique instance names
makeImageMovieClips(i, newImageToLoad, targetImg_mc);
}
}
// Public Methods:
// Semi-Private Methods:
// Private Methods:
private function makeImageMovieClips(i, newImageToLoad, targetImg_mc) {
// create movieClip name
var imgMovieClip = ["img_"+i];
trace('creating empty movie clip called '+imgMovieClip);
_level0.createEmptyMovieClip(imgMovieClip,i);
// run the loadMovie func
loadImage(newImageToLoad, imgMovieClip);
}
// func to load image into newly created movieClip
private function loadImage(newImageToLoad:String, imgMovieClip):Void {
trace('trying to load '+newImageToLoad+' into '+imgMovieClip)
imgMovieClip.loadMovie(newImageToLoad)
}
}
But it does not work and I feel that it is a scope issue but I am not sure why.
Thanks, V

Re: [Flashcoders] embedded font not displaying
I have been having font issues with Flash for the longest time. First, I want to say hello to you all, I am brand new here and really impressed by the level of programming. I came from actionscript.org where I almost always help people out but I dont think that is going to be the case for me here for some time. Anyway, I was working on this international site that had to display different languages depending upon an HTML querystring. The copy is pulled from XML. So what I needed to do was to use actionscript to embed the font but when I did that I could not format it as HTML. Does anyone have the solution...it could be myText.htmlText = 'foo' but I am not sure.
